Mesh Optimization

After mesh generation, you can further process the mesh using the tools on the left sidebar and the bottom editing toolbar in the Post-Processing interface.

Click + to expand the corresponding function panel in the Mesh Optimization window on the left side of the interface.

Texture Adjustment

Adjust the brightness and contrast of the texture data in real time.

Note

  • Only project files with textures support this function.
  • The default value is 0, and the range is -100 to 100.

Manual Hole Filling

Manually select and fill holes on the model. This function is suitable for repairing individual or larger holes.

Note

  • All hole edges are displayed in green, and the edge of the selected hole is displayed in red.
  • Before filling a hole, you need to select the fill type (Curvature, Tangent, or Flat), then click the hole edge to fill it.

Flip Normal

Select the target model data in the 3D scene, and the software will automatically flip the normals of the connected area to correct any incorrect normal directions.

Note

  • Hold Shift+left mouse button to select the area to flip.
  • If no area is selected, all normals will be flipped by default.
  • Texture Remapping cannot be performed after flip normal. Please complete texture remapping before performing flip normal.

Cutting Plane Tool

Manually adjust the model's spatial coordinate system to provide a standard coordinate reference for subsequent data export and 3D printing.

Note

  • Hold Shift+left mouse button to create a straight line and select a plane.
  • After selecting a plane, you can Delete Selected Area and Fill Intersecting Faces or Delete Selected Area.

Function
Description

Perspective View		 View the model in Perspective mode. In this mode, objects appear larger when closer and smaller when farther away, consistent with normal human observation of the 3D world. Click again to switch to Orthogonal View.

Orthogonal View		 View the model in Orthogonal mode. In this mode, there is no perspective effect, and the object size is independent of the viewpoint distance. Click again to switch to Perspective View.
Function
Description

Select Visible		 Select only the visible data within the current selection range.

Select Through		 Select the visible area and all data directly behind it within the current selection range.

Select Front		 Select only the data on the front side of the current object.
Note
Select Front and Select Visible/Select Through cannot be enabled simultaneously.

    Function
    Description

    Open File    		 When there is no data in the post-processing interface, click this button to import a model file in the corresponding format for mesh processing.

    Export Data    		 : Save the scanned data locally in the specified format.
    : If you have installed EXModel, click this button to switch to EXModel, and the model data will be automatically imported.

    Share Data
  • Share your model using your Sketchfab account.
  • Upload your model to Shining 3D Digital Cloud.
    		•

    Texture Remapping    		 After post-processing, the texture data of the model may be misaligned. You can perform secondary texture remapping to correct texture errors.
    Note
    • If mesh processing such as hole filling or simplification has been performed, it is recommended to perform texture remapping before saving the data.
    • You can enable Texture Layout Optimization to create a better texture arrangement and improve compatibility with third-party software.

    Show Texture / Hide Texture    		 Show or hide the model texture on the current interface.

    Model Display    		 Click this button or press F12 to enter the model display interface. The model will rotate clockwise at a specified speed (click to adjust the rotation speed to Fast, Medium, or Slow). Press F12 or Esc again to exit the model display interface.
    Note
    After entering the model display interface, the model will only rotate at the current viewing angle. If you need to display other angles, exit the display interface and adjust the angle in the post-processing interface.
